Gamepedia is a wiki service owned by Curse which is owned by Twitch. There are several advantages that would make experiences on Gamepedia much better than on Wikia when it comes to consuming information about the game.''' Most contributions will not be lost in this transfer. '''Which means that most things will largely be unaffected when moving onto Gamepedia including templates, images, sprites, etc. Here are some reasons why a switch is the way to go:

Advertisements Wikia/Fandom has been infamous for intrusive advertisements on their websites, including pop up ads, big ads on the main page that displace content, and sticking ads where it blocks content. Gamepedia does not have this issue, as the only advertisement would be a banner on the top of a page where it can not displace content, block anything that is being read, and some side ads that don't block anything either. There is also an option to pay for an ad-free experience to Gamepedia, unlike on Wikia where you must use AdBlock if you don't want ads.

Information space There is lots of space for information to be read and added as space is less squeezed into like on Wikia. Gamepedia also has the structure to create pages for Pokemon once the game will be over and things like that can be added. Wikia encourages more pages, Gamepedia encourages higher quality pages.

Better customization You may or may not know this, but customization on Wikia is pretty limited. There is only a background, favicon, and logo pretty much to be added. Gamepedia as it also has more space and less ads can provide more immersion because of the space and more customization. The main page right now on this is pretty small, pointless, and most people resort to the top navigation bar which is pretty small for navigation, and they have to sift through the categories to find what they want.

Those are really the 3 main reasons of a why a switch is more favourable. There are many more reasons but those are the ones I can really go into detail in. I hope you guys support the move, but if you don't, please let me know. Hi!
